Aiko, Ron English, Faile, Logan Hicks, Judith Supine, London Police & more @ Opera Gallery’s “Making Faces”
We like the way NYC’s Opera Gallery integrated some of the more established street artists with the likes of Chagall, Picasso and Matisse in their current exhibit featuring a remarkably diverse range of portraits. The exhibit continues through February 19 at 115 Spring Street. Here are a few faces we captured when we stopped by this past week:

Remi/Rough hits David Shillinglaw’s studio
Too often I see an artist releasing a new mass produced screenprint, pulled by a large print house, and with little or no input from the artist themselves. As a result, I rather enjoy seeing the process an artist goes through to produce a piece of work, be it print or original. It is almost refreshing.
Recently Remi/Rough team up with David Shillinglaw in David’s north London studio to paint this lovely colab canvas. And whilst doing so, posed for a few nice photos of them at work…
Check out more shots and the finished piece after the jump… Continue reading “Remi/Rough hits David Shillinglaw’s studio”
Leon Reid IV’s latest Kickstarter campaign
Leon Reid IV and Julia Marchesi have teamed up for Reid’s latest project: The Hundred Story House. It’s a sculpture designed to house free books at a park in Brooklyn’s Cobble Hill Park. The idea is that the sculpture will function as free library on an honor-system. People can take books or leave them, and the sculpture could be a place where people know they can find great books to read for free. But Leon and Julia need $13,000 to make their vision happen, so they have gone to Kickstarter in the hope of raising that money. Here’s their pitch:
So far, they’ve raised about 13% of their goal, and they have 28 days to go. To support The Hundred Story House or learn more, check out the Kickstarter page.

The walls of Mikolaj Rejs
Sometimes I randomly come across really great artists on flickr, and few things are more fun than that. Most recently, I’ve been exploring Mikolaj Rejs‘ flickr page. Here are some of my favorites from Mikolaj.

LNY, Gaia and ND’A up in Philly
Three of the finest up-and-coming street artists around just came through Philadelphia. Streets Dept. has some great shots of two spots by Gaia, so I’m going to focus on ND’A and LNY‘s work.
There are detailed shots of LNY’s wheatpastes and some spraypainted works by LNY after the jump… Continue reading “LNY, Gaia and ND’A up in Philly”
Wild Style Wednesday!
Phil Lumbang at Unit44
Phil Lumbang is the first American to have a show at Newcastle’s Unit 44 gallery. Lumbang is known for his cartoon characters like his trademark bear, his work with The Hundreds and for being an assistant to Shepard Fairey. Even people (and I sometimes include myself in this category) who usually get sick and tired of the artists who build their brands based on repetitive logos might enjoy Lumbang. Unlike Shepard Fairey or D*face for example, Lumbang’s characters may be repetitive but they are also fun and a bit heartwarming. Who could say “no” to a mural that just tries to make people smile? I’m excited to see how he is received in the UK. New Arrival opens on February 3rd at Unit 44.
PS, the guys at Very Nearly Almost have a little teaser of the show.
From the Streets of Bogota, Colombia: A Cast of Characters, Part I
When I first discovered the walls in Bogota, Colombia in 2007, I instantly fell in love with their distinct beauty, restless energy and cast of characters. Here are a few images that were captured last week and shared with me.
Special thanks to Luz Coy for taking and sharing these photos. Artists to be identified.
